We will be going to Walt Disney the last week of September but did not manage to get tickets for Mickey's not so scary Halloween. Which day can we go that we can stay late and watch the parade/fireworks?”

Hey there, Nikki!

Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are just a few days away from arriving at the most magical place on earth! I bet you’re getting so excited. Have you packed yet? Don’t forget all those extra magical Disney smiles. You’ll be needing each and every one of them. And then some!

Nikki, I’m happy to let you know that on evenings when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is not scheduled, you will be able to enjoy the park during its regular hours, and experience the magical firework spectacular, Happily Ever After! For those specific schedules, simple visit the website and hover over the Parks & Tickets tab. There, select the highlighted link on the blue box to the right that says More Hours and search for the days during your stay when the park shows a later closing and the party is not mentioned. You can also find this information in your My Disney Experience mobile app under Park Hours.

Nikki, did you know you can also watch fireworks from outside Magic Kingdom? If you are visiting any of the resort hotels on the Monorail loop, you can ask a friendly cast member you can find a good spot to watch the fireworks and they will point you in the right direction. Certain locations even pipe in the music! I love visiting Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, stopping by the Pineapple Lanai for a delicious Dole Whip, then heading down to the beach for some amazing fireworks views.

I hope you have a magical visit and if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to bring it our way!
